Would changing my telephone from BT to TALKTALK affect my TPS service?

Question

I seem to be getting more unwanted calls since changing over.

Answer 1

If you have the same telephone number, it would make no difference. The TPS service works by telephone number and has nothing to do with the company carrying your calls.

You should point out to all unwanted callers that you are on the TPS list and that they are breaking the law. Say you will report them next time they call... they probably won't call again.


NB - TPS doesn't apply to calls originating overseas. Surprise surprise, more UK companies are moving their cold-call departments overseas to get around the rule...
